Never received magazine despite numerous follow up with company . I asked for a refund; hopefully I will see it. Would not recommend

Shady….Beware! Never signed up for auto renewal but was charged anyway, I had to call numerous times to get refunded. Go directly to the actual magazine to subscribe.

Even though I was assured that I would receive notification before People magazine was renewed, that did NOT happen. I checked my emails and no such notification came through. I suspect this is their racket. Get you in for a cheap price and then sock it to you with a renewal you DID NOT expect. The cancellation process is a nightmare of pushing buttons and speaking into the phone. Of course, when you finally get a human being she is speaking to you from some call center in India. She said that she cancelled the subscription and issued a refund. Fingers crossed this is the case!

Absolutely a terrible company to deal with. Rude customer service. They talk to you like they're they're doing you a favor. Don't waste your time or money. If you go to their site. Of course they have great reviews. But if you check anywhere else, they're just a third party and every time something wrong happens it's just an excuse. I waited 8 weeks for nothing and then they charged me. I asked why wasn't I refunded in full? They said it was the time they spent on the phone.

Slow tech. Borderline fraud. Payment took days to process. Cancellation difficult.

I made the HUGE mistake of ordering before checking here to see if it is a scam site. Strictly speaking, not a true scam but they say on their website that "you can cancel anytime and be refunded for the issues not received." They also sent NO email to verify purchase. The only record I have is Paypal, where they took the $ under another biz name Meredith Operation Corporation. Ppl here are 100% right that you cant get through to a customer service agent and they make it VERY VERY hard to cancel orders/subscriptions.

I would give it a Zero. SCAM. impossible to get in touch with anyone. IMPOSSIBLE TO CANCEL. No ability to get through the automated menu. It takes you in circles. Any information you enter - name, zip code, order #, etc. they claim not to be able to find. But they sure know how to bill your credit card.

⭐ 1 Star — Magazines.com (Order #2905508848) I placed an order with Magazines.com back in August 2025 and, to this day, have not received a single issue — digital or physical. I was charged immediately, but have had zero communication or confirmation of activation. The order included: Allrecipes Magazine – 5 issues Real Simple – 6 issues Better Homes & Gardens – 10 issues It’s now been over two months with nothing delivered and no updates. Very disappointing experience, and I won’t be shopping with Magazines.com again unless this is made right. Mike in FL 🐾 — Verified Purchase, August 2025
